Amazon.com is SOLD OUT. Other online retailers are going quick, and I have an extra copy in my hands right now that is going out to a lucky person. The only thing you have to do is add a comment to this blog post! The winner will be drawn at random next weekend!
Your chances of winning this book are probably better than winning $1 in the lottery.
How to Digitally Photograph Cars is a how-to book on digitally photographing a vehicle the professional way, with techniques and secrets from professional photographers. It features in-depth, post-processing procedures and teaches you how to achieve professional-quality photographs.
This book includes tips on panning, car-to-car motion, shooting engine bays, using an automotive rig, controlling lighting, and more. The book even has strategies for selling your finished work to automotive publications. It also offers extensive information on using Photoshop for post processing your automotive images, including Photoshop’s essential tools, contrast and color adjustments, working with RAW files, layers and multi-layering, dropping backgrounds, clipping photos together, filters, resizing, and more.
In order to be eligible to win this contest, you must register/login and enter at least your first name and last name initial and post something about the book! If you’re lucky, I might sign it

Hmm, we don’t need to go through this formally. You can just give me the book cause you know you want to.
Congratz on getting it out and it looks like things are going well.

You know i want the book josh
you should feel sorry for me i am a poor college student 
May 11th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
I’m seriously starting to think I should play the sympathy card here. Amazon.com charges spare organs to ship to South Africa. So…. SOMEONE would need to send me one courier anyways if I wanted to get my hands on a copy… wait a minute! This could in fact be… yes… this could very well be your moment to make a difference. Josh Mackey, this is your conscience talking, “you want to give it to Seagram…”.
hahahaha, I’m kidding. I’m going to threaten someone with their life on DS to help get one over here to Cape Town for me.
Btw, great job with doing it!
May 11th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
Josh, You young buck you… I think you owe me that copy… along with those pics of my 56 you’ve been promising to send me… Congrats Bro..
May 12th, 2009 at 8:15 am

May 12th, 2009 at 8:25 am
Congrats Josh! I’m glad your book is doing so well. Hopefully it will continue on.
May 12th, 2009 at 10:03 am
glad you got the book out.. i need a copy now!! come one man my birthday is on the 23rd.. haha
May 13th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
I love you, man.
May 14th, 2009 at 8:01 am
Thanks Josh for sharing your experience and talent to teach those of us just starting out I can’t wait to use your techniques as drift and race season is just beginning here. To win an autographed copy would be an honour to possess and will happily give you guys credit for helping me out when I get my website up with my new car portfolio.
May 14th, 2009 at 10:19 am
